With the popularity of the Game of Thrones television series and novels at an all time high, the themes of politically inspired high-fantasy stories are all the rage.

As a result, those looking to dive into the world of Final Fantasy XII now may find its deviation away from the tried and tested themes found in previous games of the mainline series a lot more fresh and intriguing than they did in 2006.

Final Fantasy XII is set in the kingdom of Ivalice, which is the same world that is seen Final Fantasy Tactics. Like Tactics, the story, while it's not as complex, it is politically motivated, dark and mature.

Additionally, instead of one or two characters getting all the screen time, nearly every character is an integral part of the game’s narrative. In a theme similar to the GoT series, the villain’s motives are never as straight forward as what Final Fantasy fans grew accustomed to in previous titles.
